TRIED TO SAY GOODBYE, CHOKED

TRIED TO SAY GOODBYE, CHOKED
It’s the nastiest spin (eh heh heh) we’ve found on All That You Can’t Leave Behind so far. After a few positive words Spin pulls on the steelcaps, offering choice comments like “over-indulgent glistening of studio polish and tacky keyboard washes — not to mention Bono’s shockingly puerile lyrics… may remind you more of the last Backstreet Boys album than The Unforgettable Fire… it would seem the group has become the butt of its own joke… only seems to prove that Bono had a major jones for that Macy Gray album.” Oh, if you’re going to bag the lyrics on Peace on Earth you might want to get them right. Points, at least, for agreeing that the start of Walk On fell off the back of Barry White’s truck.
